¶22

As per the prosecution case, one Deepak Kumar Paswan entered into the courtyard of the informant and tried to establish physical relation with her daughter. On alarm, he fled away and thereafter, threatened the informant to make the naked photograph of her daughter viral. It is further alleged that, the petitioners appeared armed variously before the informant and assaulted her and her husband.

¶23

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged has ever taken place. From bare perusal of the F.I.R., it is clear that the specific allegation is against the co-accused Deepak Kumar Paswan and the petitioners being his family, have been implicated in this case. There is no specific overt act against the petitioners. Further, the petitioners have no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail.
